Many people carry ideas of what marriage is expected to be.
When these people marry, they behave in the way they expect
to and treat their spouse according to their expectations
of marriage.  In many, if not most, cases, the expectations
of married behavior are quite different from the expectations
of dating behavior, including living together, so that the
formalizing of marriage triggers a change in behavior.

I've been married (twice) and found out the hard way.
